Some years ago my Wife was traveling for business ( maybe in Florida) and attended a dinner where the pre-dinner drinks were accompanied by a rolling event. So she brought me a cigar. This was...less than six, more than three years ago. The cigar was a cheroot looking thing with a somewhat twisted end. It was in a cigar baggie and I tossed it in the humidor.
Recently I moved some things around and found this cigar and set it on top. I decided to smoke it today. Expectations were low because it looked like a dog rocket. I lit it, took a few puffs, not too bad. A little further in I held the cigar out and thought: What the hell, this kinda tastes Cuban! I figured I better take a pic or nobody would believe me. If that cigar was a Nicaraguan, it was the worst looking and best tasting Nicaraguan cigar I ever had. I was really surprised! Damn fine smoke!
